We have a 2017 NRC MOD truck conversion and love every minute of driving it. It is a 600hp Cummings, 13 speed Ultra Shift transmission with a twin screw rear and 18,000 lb. front axle. It is smooth and drives like a dream, the wind has little effect on drivability! At age 72 I am most likely on my last R.V., but this is the best one we've had!

'Amen" for the NRC MOD coaches! We love our NRC, and its floor plan fits us perfectly. It is rock-solid on the road, and provides comfort and safety, in motion or parked.

Our unit has been called a “Super-Duper C” RV in several posts elsewhere. There are not a lot of these type of units out there. I believe that NRC produces around 6 or 7 coaches per month, on average. Some would call it a "toterhome," but it has no rear deck for hitching a 5th wheel or gooseneck trailer. We are the second owners.

As requested, here’s a description and specs of our unit:
